I haven’t always been a fan of video games. I’m a fan of getting outside, enjoying fresh air, exploring tide pools, walking on a trail or in the park. I love cooking, baking and crafting. It just never occurred to me that adding more hours in front of a screen could be a path to joy.

The Attention Project

Attention is the most powerful tool of the human spirit. We can enhance or augment our attention with practices like meditation and exercise, diffuse it with technologies like email and Blackberries, or alter it with pharmaceuticals. In the end, though, we are fully responsible for how we choose to use this extraordinary tool.
